DETAILED DESCRIPTION Overview

Referring generally to the FIGURES, systems and methods for building health analysis are shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. A building system can perform a building health analysis to determine an overall building health score for a building, for a building facility, and/or for multiple buildings, in some embodiments. The overall building health score can be based on factors that affect the health of spaces within the building, people within the building, and/or environmental conditions of the planet.

By incorporating the health of spaces, people, and the planet into a single score, a high level conclusion of the performance of the building can be reached. If the parameters are considered by the building system individually, the building system may be biased towards that parameter since the other parameters may be ignored. For example, if person health is considered exclusively, excess pollution could be created by the building negatively affecting the planet. Therefore, a composite score considering parameters for spaces, people, and the planet can be generated and used by the building system to operate the building.

Furthermore, the various parameters of a building and/or building system may be disparate, partially or completely unrelated. For example, parameters that deal with occupant productivity may be unrelated to parameters that deal with equipment maintenance. Therefore, to consider these components, or scores for these components and draw an overall conclusion for the health of a building may be difficult. For example, a user interface that individually illustrates occupant productivity scores and equipment maintenance scores may be difficult for a user to comprehend or make sense of. However, higher level scores that combine various lower level scores each for a different disparate parameter and/or are based on a variety of disparate parameters can allow for a user to readily and effectively understand the health of their building. My combining multiple disparate parameters together under a higher level score, which can be viewed in a user interface, a user is presented with greater insight than they would otherwise be capable of determining through analyzing each disparate parameter individually.

In some embodiments, the building system determines individual scores for various parameters related to building health, user health, and planet health. The building system can generate user interfaces to display the various scores for the various building health parameters, user health parameters, and/or planet health parameters. Furthermore, the user interfaces can include overall building health scores generated by the building system from the building health parameters, the user health parameters, and/or the planet health parameters.

In some embodiments, the user interface can highlight issues causing the various scores shown in the user interface to be low, below particular values. The building system can, in some embodiments, analyze the building data to determine recommendations to raise the various scores. The recommendations can, in some implementations, be user actions that the user can perform or authorize the building system to perform the actions. In some embodiments, the building system is configured to take automatic actions to improve the score(s).

In some embodiments, the recommendations may impact multiple health scores, e.g., planet health scores, people health scores, and space health scores. The recommendation can indicate whether each health score is impacted positively or negatively by the recommendation. For example, increasing air circulation in order to increase space sanitization for people health may increase people health scores but cause the building to consume additional energy, reducing the sustainability score for planet health. In addition, there may be a monetary cost that could be calculated by the building system for recommendations. The cost could be displayed within the recommendations. Recommendations with impact indications and cost would be valuable for building personnel to decide whether to implement recommendations.

In some embodiments, the building system is configured to optimize multiple health parameters in a building in order to achieve the best and/or a balanced set of parameters for health of people, places, and planet scores. For example, the building system could be configured to optimize air temperatures, clean air conditions, efficient use of energy resources, efficient cleaning and sanitization processes, reliable system performance, and/or facility security. The optimization performed by the building system could make it easy for facility managers to select building operating modes that automatically optimize multiple building health parameters to achieve appropriate outcomes rather than achieving some outcomes but sacrificing others. Using artificial intelligence (AI) and digital twin technologies, the building system can be configured to create an autonomously controlled healthy building that operates to optimize occupant health, space health, and/or planet health and/or provide recommendations to prioritize some parameters over others.

By tracking health scores of a building, the building system can identify performance issues and automatically, or through user action, perform operations to improve health score(s) of a building. For example, the building system can operate to make sure that a building has appropriate Wi-Fi coverage and reliable network bandwidth. Furthermore, the building system can operate to improve air quality and/or water quality. In some embodiments, the building system operates to efficiently consume resources such as water and electricity. In some embodiments, the building system can operate to reduce equipment system faults. In some embodiments, the building system can operate to maintain building equipment by scheduling maintenance and inspection. In some embodiments, the building system can operate to verify that cleaning is scheduled for cleaning staff at appropriate times.

In some embodiments, the building system can integrate external scoring model standards developed by other entities (e.g., a different software developer, standards body, equipment manufacturer, service offering body, business, etc.). The entity of the external scoring model can be a different entity than the developer (e.g., software developers, architects, software company, hardware company, etc.) of the building system described herein. The building system can receive indications of the methodologies (e.g., scoring rules) of the external scoring model and implement the external scoring model. In this regard, the building system can run its own internal scoring methodology but also one or multiple external scoring methodologies. This allows users to review, within a single application or in one or multiple user interfaces, how their building scores according to different methodologies. In some cases, the building system can provide various scores of an internal scoring methodologies (scoring methodologies defined by the entity that developed the building system) but also certifications resulting from scores of external scoring methodologies.

The building system allows for a flexible integration of one or more different external scoring methodologies allowing for a plug-and-play functionality for scoring model integration. Instead of requiring significant reconfiguration of the software run by the building system, the system can receive an indication of a scoring methodology from a user, ingest the scoring methodology, run the new scoring methodology responsive to the user request. This allows the building systems scoring to be flexible and adapt to the preferences of the user without requiring a software developer to redevelop the building system. In some embodiments, the building system can retrieve the scoring methodology through an API of a system that stores the scoring methodology. As new scoring methodologies are developed and/or adopted in an industry, the building system can flexibly integrate the new scoring methodologies by connecting to an external system, receiving the external scoring methodology, and running the external soring methodology, all without requiring software redevelopment or requiring a user to install new software of the external system for the external scoring methodology. Furthermore, this allows the user to continue using the software developed by the building system instead of installing, learning, and/or using new software. Furthermore, by integrating external scoring methodologies into the building system, credential management of login credentials is improved. Normally, credentials would need to be stored for the building system and each external system running an external scoring methodology. However, because the external scoring methodologies are all integrated into the building system, the only credential that needs to be stored is the credential for the building system.

A user interface generated by the building system, in some embodiments, can track multiple scores generated via one or more external scoring standards and/or one or more internal scoring standards. Because each scoring standard may score a building differently, understanding the relationships between scoring standards may be important for a user to plan the various improvements that the user makes for the building. For example, a building renovation may have different levels of impact to each of the scoring standards. In some cases, a building renovation may have a positive impact to one score and a negative impact to another score. In this regard, the user interface can provide a user with indications of the scores of the various scoring standards and data indicating how the various scores are interrelated.

Because the user interface integrates multiple scores of multiple scoring standards together, new scores of scoring standards can be added without requiring the development of an interface specific to the new scoring standard. Furthermore, this user interface simplifies and consolidates the information of the various scores of the various scoring standards making the user interface more intuitive without requiring the user to switch between multiple different user interfaces, each specific to one scoring standard, to understand the interrelations between the various scoring standards. Also, because the scoring methodologies are combined within one user interface, the building system does not require a software application to store a user interface for each scoring methodology. This memory reduction makes the software application lighter requiring less memory and/or processing capabilities for a system running the software application.

In some embodiments, the building system can perform data health scoring for the building. The building system may collect data from various data sources, e.g., gateways, building controllers, external data sources, etc. The building may operate against the collected data, e.g., to make control decisions, derive analytics, determine insights, etc. The health of the data may affect control decisions and/or derived information. In this regard, it may be important to have healthy and reliable data for the building system. In some embodiments, the building system can perform various analysis operations to identify, score, track, and/or improve the health of data. Data health scores resulting from the analysis can be displayed in a user interface. Data health scores can indicate the level of quality of data, e.g., whether the data is reliable, free from errors, free from corruptions, free from anomalies, produced by a fault free data source, etc. The building system can generate an overall data health score for a building. In some embodiments, the overall data health score is based on lower level data health scores, e.g., data health scores generated for specific buildings of a group of buildings, specific device types of groups of device types, specific devices of each device group, applications associated with the data, etc.

The data health scores can provide a user with an insight to the quality of their data and allows the user to make updates and/or improvements to their building systems which improve the quality of their data. Furthermore, the user interface allows for a user to track how the updates are improving their data quality. This improvement of data quality leads to an improvement in the performance of control algorithms and/or analytics that consume the underlying data. The user interface can illustrate data health by device, device type, building, etc. Furthermore, the building system can identify what portion of data from data produced by data sources of the building is consumed by an application. The building system can score the portion of data to identify the specific data health of data for the application. This can provide a user with a unique insight of data health not just for data sources, but specific to applications that consume the data of the data sources. This application based health score would not be clear from only data health for the data sources.

In some embodiments, the various scores that are generated by the building system as discussed herein can be validated with user input. In some cases, a score generated by the building system may appear to be correct based on the data which the building system generates the score based on, but the score may not actually correctly reflect the reality of a building. For example, the building system may generate a people health score for a building to be a high value because the building system stores data indicating that the building includes a gym with workout equipment. However, if the workout equipment is broken or is not functioning properly, in reality, the score should be generated to a lower level. In this regard, the building system can provide questions to various users of the building inquiring whether they agree or disagree with various scores generated by the building system and/or inquiring regarding various features of the building. The building system can collect the user feedback and generate an indication of the user feedback agreeing or disagreeing with the generated scores. In some embodiments, the building system can cause user interfaces displaying the scores generated by the building system to also include an indication of whether occupants of the building verified the scores of the building.

Normally, the building system would verify information (e.g., health scores) through the measurements of sensors of the building. However, missing sensor or broken sensors makes this sensor based verification difficult. Furthermore, some conditions measured by the building system may not be directly measurable through sensors. By using user feedback, the building system can verify health scores that it may not normally be able to verify.

The artificial intelligence can be implemented and trained by the building health manager 128 and can be any type of artificial intelligence, e.g., a neural network, a linear programming component, a Gaussian model, a support vector machine, a Bayesian network, a decision tree, etc.

The building health manager 128 can implement an artificial intelligence that optimizes operation parameters of the building space 502. The artificial intelligence can determine what setting values result in optimal score(s) based on the people health parameters 306, the space health parameters 304, and the planet health parameters 302. The people health parameters 306 relate to occupant wellness, safety, satisfaction, and productivity of the building space 502. The people health parameters 306 can be parameters based on occupant health, e.g., whether air of the building space 502 is clean, whether ergonomics of the building space 502 are good, whether security of the building space 502 is present and operational, occupant wellness, and/or cleanliness and infection risk for occupants of the building space 502.

In some embodiments, adjusting environmental control parameters of the building management system 514 in the building space 502 to reduce the chance of air-borne infections between occupants can consume more energy and could make the building space 502 uncomfortable. Therefore, the artificial intelligence can solve and optimize for the people health parameters 306, the space health parameters 304, and the planet health parameters 302 to help a building achieve more of your objectives without sacrificing others, or at the very least inform a user of decisions for a building and provide operating recommendations to the users. In some embodiments, the element 550 is a user interface element that illustrates the operation of the artificial intelligence or an adjustable element for allowing a user to input control into a system. For example, when an infectious disease control mode of the element 550 is selected, as shown in FIG. 5C, the air flow increases, and the impact of this change can affect several other outcomes of the parameters 302-306. When the energy efficient mode of the element 550 is selected, as shown in FIG. 5D, the air flow decreases, and the impact of this change can affect the parameters 302-306. By understanding, calculating, monitoring, and reporting these impacts, the building health manager 128 can make it easier for a user to operate a buildings and meet more objectives for the building.

As shown in FIGS. 5B-5D, it can be seen that increasing the fresh air intake for the building space 502 will have an impact on multiple other aspects of building health as represented by the dials for the parameters 302-306. For example, by increasing the fresh air intake can require one or more fans to operate which can increase occupant health (the primary objective) but will also increase operation cost, lower asset life, increase risk for equipment downtime, increase energy consumption, etc. The element 550 can provide multi-factor decisions making for a building and putting owners/operators in control by informing their decisions and ultimately optimizing their objectives.

The planet health parameters 302 can include parameters that relate to resource sustainability and quality of life for local communities.

Referring now to FIG. 19 , is a table 1900 of air quality parameter scoring is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The table 1900 can indicate scoring for the air parameters 602. The table 1900 indicates sub parameters such as carbon dioxide, duct static pressure, air velocity, air replacement, total volatile organic compound (TVOC), particulate matters, air replacement, etc. The parameters can be parameters measured and/or controlled by the building systems 142 in the building 146. Furthermore, the table 1900 indicates a criteria for scoring each sub parameter. Each sub parameter includes an allocated score (e.g., the allotted score to the parameter if the criterial is met), a total instances parameter, a deviation instances parameter, and a score calculation (e.g., an equation based on the allocated score parameter, the total instances parameter, and/or the deviation instances parameter).

Indoor air quality (IAQ) may depend on the presence and abundance of pollutants in the indoor environment that may cause harm. People spend 80-90% of time in enclosed building, in some cases. During this time, the occupants may inhale indoor air pollutants that could result in short-term or long-term health problems. A ventilation system can be installed in the building 146 to bring required fresh air in from outside (e.g., clean air changeovers) and dilute occupant-generated pollutants (e.g., carbon dioxide) and product-generated pollutants (e.g., volatile organic compounds). Poorly ventilated spaces promote symptoms such as headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, sinus congestion, cough, sneezing, eye, nose, throat, and skin irritation, dizziness, and nausea. Furthermore, an airborne disease (e.g., COVID-19) can spread through transmission from one person to another in tiny particles of water and virus called aerosols. Aerosols can stay floating in the air for hours and can travel long distances. Aerosols can build up if the air inside is not circulated and/or filtered by the building 146 the right way.

Referring now to FIG. 20 , a table 2000 of thermal comfort parameter scoring is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The table 2000 can indicate scoring for the air parameters 602. The table 2000 indicates sub parameters such as dry bulb temperature, personalized control optimum start, and/or humidity control, etc. The sub parameters can be parameters measured and/or controlled by the building systems 142 in the building 146. Furthermore the table 2000 indicates a criteria for scoring each sub parameter. Each sub parameter includes an allocated score (e.g., the allotted score to the parameter if the criterial is met), a total instances parameter, a deviation instances parameter, and a score calculation (e.g., an equation based on the allocated score parameter, the total instances parameter, and/or the deviation instances parameter).

Thermal conditions may be integral to the occupant experience in the building 146. Ventilation, temperature control, and/or humidity are all factors of the building 146 that may contribute significantly to workplace experience and task capabilities. A study on workplace thermal conditions and/or health impacts observed that workers experienced itchy, watery eyes, headaches, and/or throat irritation when thermal factors such as ventilation, humidity, and heat were unfavorable.

When indoor environments are too warm, there is evidence of increases in sick building syndrome symptoms, negative moods, elevated heart rate, respiratory issues, and feelings of fatigue. Thermal comfort can be more important to office worker performance than job stress or job satisfaction. Thermal comfort may be influenced by objective factors like air temperature, mean radiant temperature, air speed, and humidity, as well as personal factors like metabolic activity level and thermal insulation from clothing.

Referring now to FIG. 21 , a table 2100 of light parameter scoring is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The table 2100 can indicate scoring for the light parameters 614. The table 2100 indicates sub parameters such as desk light control, meeting room light control, outdoor conditions, etc. The sub parameters can be parameters indicating the presence or absence of certain systems of the building systems 142 in the building 146. Furthermore the table 2100 indicates a criteria for scoring each sub parameter. Each sub parameter includes an allocated score and a score calculation. The calculation can indicate that the allocated score is attributed to the sub parameter if the system referenced by the sub parameter is present in the building 146.

The eye can have dual roles. The eye can detect light to allow us to see but also detects light to tell the brain what time of day it is. These visual and non-visual effects of light can have different sensitivities to light intensity, spectrum, timing, pattern, and/or light history and are served by different light detectors (photoreceptors) in the eye. Both roles are important considerations when assessing the quality of a built environment. Light may be the main driver of the visual and circadian systems. Light levels typically experienced indoors (e.g., tens to hundreds of lux) can induce non-visual responses. Therefore the type of lighting occupants are exposed to during the day and night may need to be optimized. Light exposure can impact mood and reduces symptoms of depression in individuals. Light also has acute effects on our cognitive function and sleep.

Referring now to FIG. 22 , a table 2200 of light sunshade parameter scoring is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The table 2200 can indicate scoring for light sunshade parameters. The table 2100 indicates sub parameters for sunshade control. The sub parameters can be parameters indicating the presence and/or operation of sunshade control systems of the building systems 142 in the building 146. Furthermore the table 2200 indicates a criteria for scoring each sub parameter. Some sub parameters includes an allocated score and a score calculation. The calculation can indicate that the allocated score is attributed to the sub parameter if the system referenced by the sub parameter is present in the building 146. For one sunshade control sub parameter, a total number of instances and a total number of deviations are used in a score calculation to determine a score of the sunshade control parameter.

Many studies on the health impacts of daylight have reported evidence for potential benefits including improvement to vision and sleep quality and reduced symptoms of myopia, eye strain, headache, and depression. Daylight exposure and/or access to windows at work have been linked to improved sleep duration and mood, reduced sleepiness, lower blood pressure and increased physical activity, whereas lack of natural light has been associated with physiological, sleep, and depressive symptoms. Office workers exposed to electric and natural lighting conditions have reported experiencing less glare and less sleepiness earlier in the day under natural lighting compared to when they were under electric lighting. Moreover, not only intensity but also the timing of daytime light exposure has been found to influence body mass index (BMI) in adults, with lower BMI in those who receive most of their bright light exposure earlier rather than later in the day

Referring now to FIG. 23 , a table 2300 of occupancy parameter scoring is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The table 2300 can indicate scoring for light sunshade parameters. The table 2300 indicates sub parameters for occupancy. The sub parameters can be parameters indicating a number of occupants sensed by the building systems 142 in the building 146. Furthermore the table 2300 indicates a criteria for scoring each sub parameter. Some sub parameters include an allocated score, a total instances, a deviation instances, and a score calculation.

Referring now to FIG. 24 , a table 2400 of healthy building parameter scoring is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The table 2400 can indicate scoring for the seating parameters 620. The table 2400 indicates sub parameters for seating parameters. The sub parameters can be parameters indicating the presence of hot-desking and/or seating systems of the building systems 142 in the building 146. Furthermore, the table 2400 indicates a criteria for scoring each sub parameter. Some sub parameters includes an allocated score and a score calculation. The calculation can indicate that the allocated score is attributed to the sub parameter if the system referenced by the sub parameter is present in the building 146.

The seating parameters 620 can indicate whether ample active workstations, such as a sit-stand or treadmill desk are available in the building 146. Sedentary behavior has been linked to numerous negative health outcomes, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and metabolic risks and premature mortality. Sedentary behavior also poses health risks, despite activity levels, and may even negate the positive health effects associated with physical activity. Active workstations may be effective at decreasing time spent sitting, thereby increasing energy expenditure. Studies do not suggest there is an impact on productivity for sit-stand or treadmill desks with more mixed findings for bicycle desks. Evidence further suggests that offering active workstations along with education, prompts and/or behavior change counseling may support sustained behavior change and further reduce sitting time.

Referring now to FIG. 25 , a table 2500 of sound parameter scoring is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The table 2500 can indicate scoring for the sound parameters 618. The table 2500 indicates sub parameters for sound, e.g., noise level, music, etc. The sub parameters can be parameters indicating noise levels sensed by the building systems 142 in the building 146. Furthermore, the sub parameters indicate music playing actions that the building systems 142 can take in the building 146. Furthermore the table 2500 indicates a criteria for scoring each sub parameter. Some sub parameters are associated with an allocated score and a score calculation.

Noise may be defined as an “unwanted or disturbing sound” that interferes with normal activities such as work, sleeping, and/or conversation. Noise enters building interiors from outside sources such as aircraft, road traffic, trains, lawn mowers, snow blowers, and/or the operation of heavy equipment at construction sites. Indoors, noise can be generated from a mechanical system, HVAC systems, office equipment, vacuum cleaners, industrial machinery, and/or conversations among occupants.

The presence of background noise can also be disruptive and interfere with an ability of an individual to communicate and clearly perceive speech at a normal speaking volume. Thus, a building occupant may need to raise their voice to compensate. On the contrary, the music involves the use of the whole brain. Music can improve memory, attention, physical coordination and mental development. Classical music can stimulate the regeneration of brain cells. Classical music, played at a moderate volume, can encourage creativity, and/or repair brain damage.

Healthy diets have the potential to nurture human health and prevent several diet-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. However, poor nutrition remains a top contributor to disease. Fruits and vegetables may be a key component of a healthy dietary pattern for the prevention of chronic disease. However, most individuals around the world do not meet the daily recommended five servings. Nutrition education has been shown to be more effective when focused on changing specific behaviors, rather than only increasing knowledge. The scope of nutrition and food education may also be broader than personal nutrition and health. For example, education can cover topics, such as safe food handling practices, gardening and food production techniques, as well as food preparation skills.

Referring now to FIG. 28 , a table 2800 of fitness parameter scoring is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The table 2800 can indicate scoring for the fitness parameters 636.

Some sub parameters are associated with an allocated score and a score calculation.

Nearly a quarter of the global population do not achieve physical activity guidelines and is considered physically inactive. Key determinants of physical activity behavior include time, convenience, motivation, self-efficacy, weather conditions, travel and family obligations, fear of injury, lack of social support, and/or environmental barriers such as availability of sidewalks, parks and/or bicycle lanes. Physical inactivity has emerged as a primary focus of public health, due to a rise in premature mortality and chronic diseases attributed to inactive lifestyles, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, stroke and some forms of cancer. Physical activity can be intimately tied to prevention of these chronic conditions and overall health across the lifespan.

Referring now to FIG. 29 , a table 2900 of handwashing parameter scoring is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The table 2900 can indicate scoring for the handwashing parameters 638. The table 2900 indicates sub parameters regarding hand washing, soap dispensers, touchless hand washing, etc. The table 2800 indicates a criteria for scoring each sub parameter. Some sub parameters are associated with an allocated score and a score calculation.

Handwashing with soap can remove germs from hands. This can help prevent infections because people frequently touch their eyes, nose, and mouth without even realizing it. Germs can get into the body through the eyes, nose and mouth and make people sick. Furthermore, germs from unwashed hands can get into foods and drinks while people prepare or consume them. Germs can multiply in some types of foods or drinks, under certain conditions, and make people sick. Germs from unwashed hands can be transferred to other objects, like handrails, tabletops, or toys, and then transferred to hands of another person. Proper and frequent handwashing can reduce the number of people who get sick with diarrhea by 23-40%, reduce diarrheal illness in people with weakened immune systems by 58%, reduces respiratory illnesses, like colds, in the general population by 16-21%, and/or reduce absenteeism due to gastrointestinal illness in schoolchildren by 29-57%.

Referring now to FIG. 30 , a table 3000 of water quality parameter scoring is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The table 3000 can indicate scoring for water quality parameters 632.

While various embodiments described herein discuss implementing or integrating with a scoring model from an external system, it should be understood that, in various implementations, the scoring model may be a third-party model defined by a third party, but the information used to determine the score under the model may be obtained by system 5900 without obtaining it from the third party directly (e.g., without obtaining it from the external system 5912), such as by measuring relevant data directly or obtaining it from one or more other parties. In some implementations, the features described herein may be used to implement a first party scoring model. All such modifications are contemplated within the scope of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the external system 5912 can implement an external scoring system 5916 that performs scoring for the building 146 according to a particular standard or set of standards. This particular standard or set of standards may be separate from the scoring described in FIGS. 1-58 and 61- 66 . The external scoring system 5916 can be configured to implement scoring such as the scoring for FITWELL, RESET, GREENMARK, LEED, WELL, etc. The external scoring data 5914 can be data in the various categories, sub-categories, parameters, options, etc. of the building 146 that is needed to perform building scoring via the external scoring system 5916 according to the various scoring models and/or calculations of the scoring standards of the external scoring system 5916. While the external scoring system 5916 is shown as a part of the external system 5912 in the illustrated embodiment, it should be understood that, in other embodiments, the scoring functionality provided by the external scoring system 5916 may be performed in part or in whole by the building health manager 128 (e.g., the building health manager 128 may include the scoring system functionality and conduct the scoring alone or in combination with the external system 5912).

In some embodiments, the building health manager 128 can be configured to integrate the scoring of the external scoring system 5916, e.g., via the external scoring system 5906). In some embodiments, the building health manager 128 can implement the external scoring method of the external scoring system 5916 and display the information in user interfaces so that the user can view scoring results of the external scoring system 5906 but also the internal scoring system 5904 which implements the scoring described in FIGS. 1-58 and 61- 66 .

In some embodiments, the internal scoring system 5904 can integrate the determinations of the external scoring system 5906. In some embodiments, the scores for the planet health parameters 302, the space health parameters 304, and/or the people health parameters 306 can be based in whole or in part on one or more scores of an external scoring methodology determined by the external scoring system 5916. For example, in some embodiments, the people health parameters 306 can be based on one or more scores determined based on the WELL building standard. In some embodiments, the space health parameters 304 can be based in whole or in part on scores determined based on the LEED building standard. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the space health parameters 304 can be based in whole or in part on the data auditing of the data auditor 5902. While the illustrated embodiment shows the internal scoring system 5904 and the external scoring system 5906 as separate components, it should be understood that, in some implementations, the building health manager may include a single scoring system that integrates aspects of both an internal scoring methodology and an external or third party scoring methodology.

In some embodiments, the building health manager 128 provides a certification, via the scoring of the external scoring system 5906, indicating whether the building 146 is meeting a particular score of the external scoring system 5906. In some embodiments, the external scoring system 5906 implements external scoring of one or multiple different external scoring systems. Different certification organizations may exist with their own definitions, evaluation criteria, and scoring models. The external scoring system 5906 can implement the various different scoring methodologies so that the user can review the performance of their building with respect to each scoring methodology.

The building health manager 128 can receive building data from the building systems 142. The building data can be processed through the data auditor 5902. The data auditor 5902 can analyze the building data to verify the integrity of the data, e.g., verify that the data is not corrupted by network errors, equipment faults, etc. The data auditor 5902 can perform the various data verification techniques described in U.S. Pat. Application No. 16/685,814 filed November 15th, 2019 and U.S. Pat. Application No. 16/685,834 filed November 15th, 2019, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein. In some embodiments, a user interface or user interfaces can be displayed on the user device 148 which indicate the results of the data audit performed by the data auditor 5902. In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 cleans data, e.g., performs normalizations, removes corrupt data, fills in missing data points, etc. In some embodiments, a model based data point filling technique could be used by the data auditor 5902 to fill in missing data points. A result and/or record of the data cleaning can be displayed in a user interface by the user interface manager 5910. In some embodiments, the user may have control over when and what types of data cleaning is performed via the user interface. For example, a user could receive a recommendation to perform cleaning in the user interface, accept the cleansing recommendation, and historical data (which control algorithms may be run against) could run based on the cleansed data.

In some embodiments, the external scoring system 5906 can implement scoring for the an external building standard such as WELL, LEED, or any other scoring standard. The user interface manager 5910 can generate one or more user interfaces that provide scores of the external building standard and/or actionable recommendations for improving the scores of the external building standard. In some embodiments, the external scoring system 5906 can use sensor and/or BMS data received form the building system 142 and use the data in the external scoring system 5906 to generate scores for the external building standard. In some embodiments, the data is used in an air concept of the WELL standard. In some embodiments, the scoring standards may relate to one or more of healthy people, places, or planet/environment. For example, a scoring model (e.g., WELL standard model) relating to person/building occupant health may be used, a scoring model (e.g., LEED standard model) relating to building/building space/external environment/planet health (e.g., carbon emissions performance) may be used, etc.

The external building standard can use criteria for calculating the scores of the external building standard (e.g., two hundred or more criteria for the WELL standard). In some embodiments, the data for the scoring can be the external scoring data 5914. In some embodiments, the data can be entered manually by a user via the user device 148, e.g., via a manual configuration interface. The manual configuration interface can include input elements specific to a particular building standard, e.g., an interface specific to entering WELL data and/or an interface specific to entering LEED data.

In some embodiments, the building health manager 128 can keep a historical record of the various scores of the external building standard. The user interface 5910 can generate a user interface that includes the various current scores and/or historical scores of the external building standard and indicate compliance. In some embodiments, the recommendation generator 1116 can be configured to generate recommendations to improve the external building standard scores. These recommendations can be provided in the user interface including the external building scores. In some embodiments, the recommendation generator 1116 can identify recommendations that conflict with each other (e.g. recommendations for occupant comfort, air quality, energy savings, etc. that conflict) and inform user who can then prioritize different parameters (e.g. prioritize occupant comfort and air quality during occupied times and prioritize energy savings during unoccupied times).

In some embodiments, the occupant based verifier 5908 can receive occupant feedback via the user device 148. In some embodiments, the feedback is received via a mobile application run at least partially on the user device 148. The feedback can be used by the occupant based verifier 5908 to verify the scores provided to the user via the user interfaces generated by the user interface manager 5910. For example, a score for occupant thermal comfort can be verified based on comfort feedback of the occupants of the building 146 provided via the user device 148. The feedback can confirm if people agree with the thermal comfort scores generated by the building health manager 128. In some embodiments, the occupant feedback may be used to validate whether certain sensed or reported data is reflective of the actual building environment; for example, occupant feedback may be used to verify whether a non-smoking policy indicating that occupants cannot smoke inside a building or within a certain distance of entrances is actually complied with by occupants. The result of the feedback can be an agreement or disagreement (thumbs up or thumbs down) with the scores generated by the building health manager 128. In this regard, the occupants can be treated as sensors by the building health manage 128 and the data collected from the occupants can be used as sensor data to verify the scores of the building health manager 128. In various embodiments, the feedback may be received in a different manner than via a mobile app, such as via a web interface, via a different type of computing device, via manual survey data, etc. In some embodiments, aspects of the scoring output may indicate whether they have been generated in part based on occupant feedback (e.g., to provide enhanced confidence that the scoring is reflective of actual occupant experience).

Referring now to FIG. 60 , a user interface 6000 providing scoring for factors of the external scoring model is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The user interface 6000 can be generated by the user interface manager 5910 based on the scoring generated by the external scoring system 5906. In some embodiments, the user interface 6000 displays scores for an external scoring model, e.g., the WELL building standard.

The interface 6000 includes a certification level 6002 indicating the certification level (e.g., gold, silver, bronze, platinum, etc.) that the building 146 has achieved based on the scoring performed by the external scoring system 5906. The element 6004 indicates certification scoring and point allocations. The element 6006 indicates an overall score for the building 146. The element 6008 indicates scoring for air, the element 6010 indicates scoring for water, the element 6012 indicates scoring for nourishment, the element 6014 indicates scoring for light, the element 6016 indicates scoring for movement, the element 6018 indicates scoring for thermal comfort, the element 6020 indicates scoring for sound, the element 6022 indicates scoring for materials, the element 6024 indicates scoring for mind, and the element 6026 indicates scoring for community. The elements 6008, 6010, 6012, 6014, 6018, 6020 include elements indicating whether occupant feedback has verified the scores, in some embodiments.

The element 6028 can include various recommendations for improving the scores of the interface 6000. For example, the various recommendations can be generated by the recommendation generator 1116. The recommendations can each indicate a points increase that will result to a particular concept, e.g., air, thermal comfort, light, movement, mind, nourishment, etc. The recommendations can be ordered from greatest points increase to lowest points increase.

Referring now to FIG. 61 , a user interface 6100 including a healthy building scoring for the building 146 is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The user interface 6100 can be generated by the user interface manager 5910 based on the scoring performed by the internal scoring system 5904 based on the various parameters described in FIGS. 3, 4, and 6-10 . The scores of the user interface 6100 can be generated for a specific building and/or for a specific group of buildings (e.g., an enterprise).

The user interface 6100 can include an element 6102 indicating an overall score for the building 146, e.g., the overall building health score 308. The element 6104 indicates scores for the people health parameters 306. The element 6106 indicates scores for the space health parameters 304. The element 6108 indicates scores for the planet health parameters 302. The scores of the elements 6102-6108, e.g., the overall score, the people, score, the places score, and the planet score can be trended by the building health manager 128. The score history element 6110 can trend the scores of the elements 6102-6018 via a trend chart. The scores 6102-6018 provide a consistent and centered mechanism to quickly compare very different categories of information. For example, at a glance a user can understand that their enterprise is delivering the lowest people scores related to wellness and productivity.

The elements 6102-6108 can provide a quick view of building health scores across people, places, and planet categories, as well as subcategories, e.g., wellness, air, productivity, safety, systems, operations, sustainability, emissions, community, etc. The score history element 6110 can help users understand how the scores for the categories and parameters change over time. For example, the trend graph of the element 6110 can indicate that people and planet scores have been declining at the same time a places score is rising. This could lead a user to believe that actions taken in the safety and operations categories are having a negative side effect with other categories.

The interface 6100 includes an element 6112 that sorts multiple buildings of a group (e.g., of a particular university, of a retail entity, of a business enterprise, etc.) based on the overall building scores determined by the building health manager 128. The sorted buildings of the element 6112 indicate which buildings are in the greatest need of attention. The element 6112 helps a user to quickly compare the performance of multiple buildings of a group, e.g., of an enterprise.

The element 6114 indicates recommendations for improving the scores of the interface 6100. The recommendations of the element 6114 indicates recommendations for various buildings and/or groups of buildings (e.g., implement the same recommendation in multiple buildings). The recommendations of the element 6114 indicate a recommendation goal, a potential score impact (e.g., a score impact across all subgroups of a group), an area, and a pillar. In the element 6114, the recommendations are shown to all relate to the people category. This is because a user has selected that the people score should be optimized, e.g., prioritized over other scores. In some embodiments, a user can set target scores for the building health manager 128 to generate recommendations to achieve. The scores can be prioritized in the element 6114 such that the highest impact scores appear at the top of the list.

Referring now to FIG. 62 , a user interface 6200 including people related healthy building scores for the building 146 is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. While the interface 6100 of FIG. 61 shows scores for the people, places, and planet categories, the interface 6200 shows scores for the people specific category. The interface 6200 includes scores specific to sub categories of the people category, e.g., air, productivity, and wellness.

The interface 6200 includes an overall people score 6202, this can be similar or the same as the element 6104 of the interface 6100. The element 6204 indicates scores for the air category, e.g., an indication of how clean, safe, and comfortable air is for occupants. The element 6206 indicates a score for productivity, the score can indicate human centric, ergonomic, and space comfort related features of the building. The element 6208 indicates a wellness score indicating health and wellness related options for occupants of the building 146. The element 6210 indicates a score history of the various people, air, productivity, and wellness scores of the elements 6202-6208. The building ranking of element 6212 can, in some embodiments, be related to the people related scores of the elements 6202-6208. Similarly, the recommendations of the element 6214 can be recommendations for improving air, productivity, and wellness related scores of the elements 6204-6208.

Referring now to FIG. 63 , a user interface 6300 providing a recommendation for improving the healthy building scoring for the building 146 is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. In some embodiments, the user interface 6300 may be displayed responsive to interacting with a particular recommendation of the interfaces 6100 and 6200 of FIGS. 61 and 62 . The recommendation of the interface 6300 can be a recommendation for improving conditions of a particular building. The user interface 6300 includes an element 6302 indicating a current operational state of the building, e.g., the level of outdoor ventilation, space temperature and space humidity. The negative score impact of each of these settings is included in the element 6302.

The element 6304 indicates recommendations for improving the parameters of the element 6302. The recommendations may be air recommendations to increase an outdoor air ventilation to two air changes per hour, adjust a space temperature, and/or lower a humidity. A user can select or deselect each parameter change. Furthermore, the user can adjust the value of some or all off the parameters. If the user adjusts the values for the parameters, the user can interact with the simulate button 6306, causing the building health manager 128 to run a simulation. The simulation can identify the score impact resulting from the values for the parameters and display the results to the user, this can be shown in the element 6308. In some cases, multiple recommendations may apply to one parameter or set of parameters. In this regard, the user can select the changes they wish to take and simulate the results to verify that the changes result in the objective that they desire.

The element 6308 indicates score impacts of the settings of the element 6304. The element 6308 further indicates a cost impact of the scores of the element 6304. The simulated results of the element 6308 are shown with score impacts, cost impacts, and actions that need to be completed. The scores of the element 6308 can allow a user to quantify and visualize the multi-faceted impacts that the changes of the element 6304 will have. If a user interacts with the accept button 6310, the settings selected in the element 6304 can be implemented, e.g., manually implemented by the building systems 142 and/or implemented by a technician in the building 146 through the generation and delivery of a work order to a device of the technician. In some embodiments, interacting with the accept button 6310 can follow a recommendation link that takes the user to a performance advisor for further evaluation and taking action. In some embodiments, interacting with the accept button 6310 creates a workflow (e.g., work order) for implementing the changes.

Referring now to FIG. 64 , a schematic diagram of another user interface 6400 providing a recommendation for improving the healthy building scoring for the building 146 is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The user interface 6400 includes elements for another recommendation for a building. The element 6402 indicates a current state regarding low light levels for the building 146, e.g., inefficient lighting controls, no natural light or views, and no human-centric lighting features. The negative impact of each feature is shown in the element 6402.

The element 6404 indicates a lighting recommendation for improving lighting. One operational adjustment is to increase light levels to a higher light density. Design adjustments may be to add occupancy-based controls, add natural light to more spaces, add indoor nature (plants, water falls, etc.) or outside views through decor, add lighting with human-centric features, etc. The various design and operational changes can be selected or unselected by a user. In some embodiments, the values of the operational adjustments can be changed by a user. The changes can be simulated by the building health manager 128 responsive to the user interacting with the element 6406. The element 6408 can be displayed (or information of the element 6408 populated) responsive to the user interacting with the simulate button 6406.

The element 6408 indicates a building performance impact of the various operational and design changes selected in the element 6404. The element 6408 can illustrate the adjustment in score for various categories. Furthermore, the element 6408 can indicate the financial impact of the changes. The changes that need to be implemented can be summarized in the element 6408. Responsive to interacting with the accept button 6410 that changes can be implemented (e.g., various features the same as or similar to those discussed in FIG. 63 can occur). For example, automatic work order generation, automatic implementation of control settings, etc. can be implemented by the building health manager 128. In some embodiments, a request for proposal (RFP) as shown in FIG. 66 can be generated responsive to interacting with the element 6410. In some embodiments, because the changes are in part design changes, a technician needs to be commissioned to implement the changes. In situations where a technician needs to be commissioned, the RFP request can be generated.

Referring now to FIG. 65 , the user interface 6406 providing a recommendation for improving the healthy building scoring for the building and including a key 6502 indicating various ranges of capital costs for a building performance improvement is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The key 6406 can indicate “Very Low,” “Low,” “Medium,” “High,” and/or “Very High” financial cost categories and a corresponding price ranges for the “Very Low,” “Low,” “Medium,” “High,” and/or “Very High” categories.

Referring now to FIG. 66 , a user interface 6600 for emailing a service provider a request for proposal (RFP) for an accepted recommendation of the user interface of FIG. 65 is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The interface 6600 can be generated automatically in an email program, e.g., OUTLOOK, GMAIL, PROTONMAIL, etc. The email can, in some embodiments, include a RFP. The RFP can in some embodiments, be a file (e.g., WORD document, PDF document, text document, etc.) describing the operational and/or design changes desired by a user. The operational and/or design changes can be the updates shown in FIGS. 63-65 .

Referring now to FIGS. 67A-B, a user interface 6700 including data health scores is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 can perform scoring, data derivations, and/or analysis to generate the various pieces of information of the user interface 6700. In some embodiments, the user interface manager 5910 can generate the user interface 6700 based on the various pieces of information generated based on the data auditor 5902.

The user interface 6700 includes a data health score element 6702. The element 6702 includes an overall data health score. The overall data health score can be (or can be based on) a numeric value indicating the amount of data that the data auditor 5902 has received. The overall data health score indicates whether the data received is correct and valid (e.g., free from anomalies). Because data can become unreliable, e.g., corrupt, incorrect based on equipment faults, lost via network transfer, etc. it may be important for the operation of the building for a user to be able to review the overall data health score and make operations and/or improvements to the building (e.g., update control settings, update network parameters, perform equipment maintenance, etc.) to improve the overall data health score.

The element 6702 includes an overall score that is a percentage value, e.g., 71 points out of 100 points. The element 6702 includes the scoring for various data health score ranges, e.g., poor being 0-74, average being 75-89, and good being 90 or above. The element 6702 further indicates the total number of samples received by the data auditor 5902 from the building systems 142 and the expected number of data samples. In some embodiments, the overall data health score is the percentage of received data samples to the expected data samples (e.g.,

$100\%\mspace{6mu} \ast \mspace{6mu}\left( \frac{1,027,317}{1,754,880} \right) = \left( \left( {59\%} \right) \right).$

Furthermore the overall health score can be generated based on the number of received data samples that are anomalous (e.g., change at a rate that is physically impossible, are values that are statistical outliers, etc.). In some embodiments, the overall health score has a non-linear relationship with the number of anomalies. For example, a percentage of received data samples can be decreased in a non-linear manner with increases to the number of data anomalies. The element 6702 can further indicate a change in the overall data health score over time, e.g., a down arrow or up arrow indicating the overall change over a period of time (e.g., the past day). Furthermore, a percentage change in the overall data health score can be included in the element 6702 (e.g., up 3% over the last week, down -2.5% over the last day, etc.).

The user interface 6700 includes a component data health element 6704. The element 6704 indicates data health scores on a component level. The components may be component types, e.g., device types such as gateways, controllers, equipment, meters, and/or external data sources (e.g., partner integrations). The data health scores can be determined by the data auditor 5902 for each device type based on data received for the device type. Furthermore, the data auditor 5902 can determine the number of devices of each device type that are providing anomalous and/or corrupt data. The proportion of devices of each device type can be included in the element 6704.

The user interface 6700 includes a data health score trend 6706. The trend 6706 can indicate a trend of the overall data health score of the element 6702. The trend can indicate a data health score for an enterprise, for a building, for a space of a building, for a data source type, for a device, for an application, etc. In some embodiments, the trend 6706 can be a trend for device types (e.g., a data health score for gateways, controllers, equipment, etc.). Furthermore, the trend 6706 could be a data health trend for a specific piece of equipment, e.g., a particular sensor located in a particular zone of a building. The trend 6706 can trend the data health score over seconds, minutes, hours, months, years, etc. The trend 6706 can, in some embodiments, be a time correlated reliability data stream. Time correlated reliability data streams are described in U.S. Pat. Application No. 16/685,814 filed November 15th, 2019, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.

The user interface 6700 includes a location data health element 6708. The element 6708 includes data health scores for various physical locations, e.g., spaces, buildings, campuses, etc. Furthermore, data health metrics for each location is shown in the element 6708, e.g., amount of data received, expected amount of data to be received, percentage of data received, and/or number of data anomalies detected. The data auditor 5902 can sort received data based on each location and generate a score for the data of each location.

The user interface 6700 includes an application data health element 6710. The element 6710 can indicate the data health scores for various applications. The data health scores can indicate the health of data consumed by various different applications, e.g., the various user systems 102. The element 6710 indicates data health scores for data consumed by an energy manager, an asset manager, a utility bill manager, and/or a space performance application. The element 6710 can indicate the overall data health score for each application, the amount of data received by each application, the portion of gateways affecting the applications, the portion of meters affecting the applications, and/or the number of controllers affecting the applications.

The user interface 6700 includes a gateway data health element 6712 indicating data health for various gateways of a building. The gateways can be gateways of the building 146, e.g., gateways of the edge platform 106. The data health element 6712 can indicate various gateways by name, by identifier, and/or by installation location (e.g., space, building, and/or campus). The data auditor 5902 can generate data health scores for each gateway based on the data received from each specific gateway.

The element 6712 further indicates an overall data health score for each gateway. Furthermore, a change (e.g., up, down, percentage up, percentage down, etc.) is included for each gateway indicating how the data health score for each gateway has changed over the past hour, day, week, month, etc.). The status of each gateway is further included in the element 6712, e.g., whether the gateway is offline, online, has intermittent connection, etc. The status can further indicate whether systems connected to the gateway that the gateway collects data for are online, offline, and/or intermittent (e.g., a BAS system, a meter, a sensor, an actuator, etc.). Furthermore, a date and/or time that a last message was received from each gateway is included in the element 6717. The element 6712 further includes indications of the number of data anomalies detected for each gateway, e.g., the number of data samples collected by the gateways that is anomalous.

The user interface 6700 includes an element 6714 for improving data health. The element 6714 includes indications of actions that can be taken to make improvements to the data health of various locations, devices, applications, etc. Each action of the element 6714 can indicate the location for which the action is to be taken, a device type for the action, the number of affected devices, a negative impact on the score, a description of the issue, and the personnel needed to perform the action and resolve the issue. In some embodiments, the action is generating a work order that is pushed to a technician (e.g., automatic assignment), the work order describing steps for resolving the issue. In some embodiments, the action is automatically performing an action, e.g., resetting the device (e.g., rebooting, resetting operating settings, etc.), reconfiguring network parameters for the device, performing a device software update, etc. In some embodiments, a user can accept or reject each action of the element 6714 via an accept or reject element in the element 6714. In some embodiments, the element 6714 can indicate the person who is responsible for addressing the issue, e.g., technical support, engineering support, facility maintenance, etc. In some embodiments, a user device of a user may be pushed a link to the user interface 6700 or a specific section of the user interface 6700 by the data auditor 5902. The link can queue an individual to review certain pieces of information that may be important for a person to review and understand, e.g., for a technician to understand when resolving a particular data health issue at a building.

In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 can generate the data health scores based on whether there are data gaps or intermittent connections with a data source. Missing data and/or an intermittent connection may indicate an error in the communication of data and that the data is corrupted. In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 can identify whether data is stuck, e.g., has not changed for a particular period of time indicating that the data is the result of an equipment error. Furthermore, the data auditor 5902 can identify whether data values are physically possible.

Furthermore, the data auditor 5902 can compare data values received from the various data sources to a range of acceptable values, e.g., determine whether the data values for a particular point type are between a minimum and a maximum value for the particular point type. If a data value is outside the range, the data may be counted as a data anomaly and decrease the data health score for the data source. In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 can analyze the rate of change of the value reported by the various data sources. The data auditor 5902 may store a range of rates of changes for various data types, e.g., zone sensor measurements, duct pressures, etc. The data auditor 5902 can determine a rate of change for received values and compare the determined rate of change against the expected rates of changes to determine if the data is healthy or anomalous.

In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 can perform a statistical analysis on the received data to identify average and/or historical ranges of data values. The data auditor 5902 can compare the current values to the statistical ranges for the data to determine whether the data is heathy. In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 can generate a statistical confidence for each data value. If the confidence is lower than a particular level, the data value can be classified as anomalous, in some embodiments. In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 could perform a statistical analysis based on peers. For example, a data type of various devices of the same type (e.g., temperature measurements of various temperature sensors) could be evaluated together to identify whether the data is anomalous or healthy. As another example, a static pressure of one AHU of a building could be compared to static pressures of other AHUs of other buildings.

In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 can identify a historical median value for values of a data source. The data auditor 5902 can identify whether data values deviate by a particular amount from the median value and classify the data values as healthy if they are within the particular amount from the median value. For example, the data auditor 5902 could determine whether the data value is within a particular number of standard deviations from a mean value or median value. For example, if five consecutive data samples are outside a particular number of standard deviations from the mean value or the median value, it may indicate that the data values are anomalous. In some embodiments, the window of samples considered in the statistical analysis may refresh daily and/or monthly. The size of the window may influence the sensitivity of the analysis. In some embodiments, the window is modifiable by a user and/or determined statistically. Using a median to determine the data health of data values may be more accurate than using an average, in some cases. For example, if data values range from one to ten generally, but a single data value is over 50k, the average may be driven high by the 50k data point and therefore may not be useful in determining data health.

In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 can generate scores in a linear manner or a non-linear manner. For example, the data auditor 5902 could generate the data health scores linearly or non-linearly with the number of data anomalies detected. In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 identifies a percentage of data anomalies of a total amount of data that a data source has produced. The data auditor 5902 can perform a non-linear decrease of the data health scores based on the percentage or number of the anomalies. In some embodiments, the ramping down of the data health scores can increase rapidly as the percentage of anomalies goes over a particular level, e.g., 5%. In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 can generate a percentage value of number of received vs. number of expected data samples. The percentage value can then be ramped down by the data auditor 5902 based on the number of data anomalies detected by the data auditor 5902.

The data auditor 5902 can perform a chain analysis, in some embodiments. For example, the data auditor 5902 can isolate various devices as being the sources of anomalous data. For example, if a gateway is reporting anomalous data, the data auditor 5902 can perform a further analysis on controllers, sensors, and/or actuators that feed data to the particular gateway. First, the data auditor 5902 can identify whether the gateway is healthy. If the gateway is healthy, the data auditor 5902 can isolate the data health issue to one of the devices connected to the gateway. For example, the data auditor 5902 can isolate the source of the anomalous data to a particular controller, sensor, and/or actuator, in some embodiments. This chain analysis can determine whether the source of data errors is the gateway itself or the controller which the gateway is collecting data from.

Referring now to FIGS. 68A-B, a user interface 6800 including data health scores for various data sources and data metrics for the various data sources used to determine the data health scores is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The user interface 6800 includes the elements 6702 and 6704 described in the user interface 6700. The user interface 6800 further includes elements 6802-6808 indicating data health for various data sources in various equipment categories, e.g., controllers, equipment, meters, and/or partner data sources. The elements 6802-6806 indicate device names, device locations, data health scores, data received, data expected to be received, percentage of data received, date and/or time of last data sample received, number of data anomalies detected, fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) rules impacted by device, etc.

Referring now to FIG. 69 , a user interface 6900 comparing scoring and improvement actions for multiple scoring standards is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The user interface 6900 includes a current certifications element 6902. The element 6902 indicates scoring for various external and/or internal standards. The building health manager 128 can be configured to generate the various scores of the external and/or internal standards. For example the various external standards 1-3 could be WELL standards, LEED standards, and/or any other standard. The internal standard could be the standard described in FIGS. 1-58 . The scores of the element 6902 can, in some embodiments, be a certification determined (e.g., determined by the external scoring system 5905) and/or received by the building health manager 128, e.g., received via an API connecting the building health manager 128 with an external system that generates an external certification and/or score.

In some embodiments, the building health manager 128 can be configured to communicate (e.g., in a bidirectional manager) with external standards systems to retrieve data indicating the certifications given to the building 146. The building health manager 128 can present all of the certifications within the single user interface, e.g., the user interface 6900. This single user interface can allow a user to understand and prioritize between different certifications.

The user interface 6900 includes an element 6904 indicating different campaigns for achieving various certification levels of the various internal and/or external standards. The element 6904 can include various campaigns for achieving various certification levels with a particular budget. The campaigns can represent a set of actions to be taken over time to achieve the new certification level. By surfacing a single campaign, a user can approve or reject the campaign causing various decisions to be implemented without requiring the user to take the time to review and understand each individual decision. In some embodiments, if the user interacts with the decision, the user interface 6900 can provide a description of each decision for the campaign allowing a user to review and/or edit the details of the campaign. Accepting one of the campaigns can cause the building health manager 128 to implement the various campaigns, e.g., generate work orders, configure the operation of the building subsystems 142, etc.

In some embodiments, the building health manager 128 can be configured to perform one or more artificial intelligence and/or machine learning algorithms to generate recommendations for improving a performance of a building and/or to acquire a certification for the building. The recommendations can be included in the campaigns 6904. In some embodiments, the building health manager 128 can determine whether certain standard is met by performance of the building. The standard may be a particular building health score. The standard might be an ASHRAE standard for building design. Responsive to the standard being met, the building health manager 128 can generate recommendations for acquiring the certification.

In some embodiments, analyzing whether the building meets a standard is important for implementing artificial intelligence and/or machine learning for generating improvement recommendations and/or performing building optimization. Analyzing the building performance relative to the standard can ensure that the building control systems are performing up to their base design standards. If a building is not performing up to its base standard, then artificial intelligence and/or machine learning may not operate well given the poor foundation upon which the artificial intelligence may be trained and/or operate on. The various building health scores generated herein can inform the building health manager 128 whether or not the building is up to the standard for adding intelligent software, such as artificial intelligence and/or machine learning. The building health scores can be used to determine whether the building is ready for more intelligence solutions to be added for the building.

The user interface 6900 includes an element 6906 indicating various actions for improving the various external and/or internal standards. Because each standard can indicate a unique methodology for scoring, the various actions may affect the scores of the various methodologies differently. In some cases, a particular action might increase the score of one standard but decrease another score of a different standard. In some embodiments, the impact resulting from each action can be represented in the element 6906 and an element allowing the user to accept and/or rejection each action is included in the element 6906. In some embodiments, the building health manager 128 can operate to implement the various actions responsive to a user accepting the action.

The user interface 6900 includes an element 6908 indicates trends of various scores of the external and/or internal standards. In the element 6908 a first and second external standard are shown. The scores are shown for various months of a year but can, in some embodiments, be shown for days, months, years, decades, etc. In some embodiments, the scores can be recorded by the building health manager 128 over time and plotted within the element 6908. Furthermore, the building health manager 128 can identify projections to the change in the scores over time based on historical data and/or actions taken to improve the scores. In some embodiments, a user can interact with the element 6908 to define a target. The target can indicate a desired level of the external standard set via the user (e.g., through an interface touch, a cursor click, etc.). The building health manager 128 can identify the target and generate one or more actions to achieve the goal.

Referring now to FIG. 70 , a process 7000 of using occupant feedback to verify the building health scores is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The process 7000 can be performed by the occupant based verifier 5908. Furthermore, components such as the building health manager 128 can be configured to perform the process 7000. In some embodiments, any computing device described herein can be configured to perform the process 7000.

In step 7002, the building health manager 128 can generate one or more building health scores for a building (e.g., the space health scores 1110, the planet health scores 1112, the people health scores 1114, and/or the overall building health score 308) based on one or more space health parameters 304, one or more planet health parameters 302, and/or one or more people health parameters 306. The building health manager 128 can, in some embodiments, generate the various building health scores as described in FIGS. 11-12 and/or FIG. 59 . In step 7004, the building health manager 128 can cause a user interface displayed on the user device 148 to display the various building health scores. The user interfaces may be the user interfaces described in FIGS. 13-18, 39-58, 60-69 .

In step 7006, the verifier 5908 causes questions to be communicated to various user devices of users (e.g., the user device 148) of the building 146. The questions ask the users to agree or disagree with the one or more building health scores generated in the step 7002. In some embodiments, the verifier 5908 pseudo-randomly selects users from a list of users of the building stored by the verifier 5908 and/or communicates the questions to the users via a mobile application notification, a text message, a message of a messaging application, an email, and/or any other communications means. The list may, in some embodiments, identify users of the building and the associated mobile devices, laptop computers, usernames for applications, etc.

In some embodiments, the verifier 5908 can select users to be questioned based on demographic data (e.g., age data, gender data, race, length of time spent in the building 146, body weight, height, level of fitness, etc.) and/or various other factors. The verifier 5908 can select a group of users from a total set of users from the building to accurately represent the total demographic makeup of the building.

In some embodiments, the users may receive questions on their user devices provided by the verifier 5908 responsive to the users being located in a particular area. The user locations can be determined through GPS tracking, Wi-Fi tracking, beacon-tag communication, etc. The questions communicated to the users may ask questions about the current location of the user. Systems and methods for detecting user location in a building are described in U.S. Pat. Application No. 17/220,795 filed April 1st, 2021, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein. In some embodiments, users may be prompted to answer questions when they pass through a certain point, e.g., as they badge in through a certain door, badge into a facility, request access to a meeting room, etc. The user may only gain access to the location by an access control system after the user answers the questions provided by the verifier 5908.

In some embodiments, the message communicated by the verifier 5908 can prompt the user to answer questions about various elements, e.g., a score, policy, and/or condition. In some embodiments, the elements cannot be sensed and/or verified by sensors. Furthermore, in some cases where sensors are present, it may be valuable to verify that the sensors are measuring properly, e.g., measuring accurately. If an element cannot be verified by a sensor (or there is no sensor present to verify the element), the verifier 5908 can determine to verify the element through user feedback. For example, after a heavy rain, the may be the potential for flooding in the building. However, there may not be sensors present to detect whether flooding has occurred. The verifier 5908 could communicate a message asking if the building is flooded and communicate the message to the various users. The users could confirm whether or not they have seen flooding. Similar questions could be pushed to users asking the users whether the temperature is comfortable, whether the cafeteria food is healthy, whether a hallway is properly lit, etc. The questions can be made for the various score categories of the building 146, e.g., the questions may ask about the score for the various parameters discussed herein, e.g., at FIGS. 3-10 and/or FIG. 60 .

In some embodiments, the question can include voting buttons. The buttons may be a selection of a score in a range of scores (e.g., 0-10). The buttons could be a thumbs up and/or thumbs down button. The buttons could be a smiley face or a frowning face. The buttons could be smiley faces of a range of expressions (e.g., red frowning face, orange unhappy face, yellow okay face, green smiley face). The feedback to the questions may, in some embodiments, be text based feedback typed and/or spoken by the user.

In step 7008, the verifier 5908 can receive the user feedback from the user devices responsive to communicating the questions to the user devices. The feedback can indicate agreement or disagreement with particular building health scores generated and/or displayed in the steps 7002-7004. In some embodiments, the feedback can be indications of levels of agreement or disagreement with various building health scores.

The feedback could indicate, in some embodiments, that a staircase is not well lit. The question may ask whether a stairwell is light well. The verifier 5908 could determine that a work order should be generated to replace light bulbs and/or install new lighting in the staircase based on the feedback. The question could ask whether food provided in a cafeteria is healthy. The verifier 5908 could determine that a work order should be generated to order healthy food for the cafeteria based on the feedback. The questions could ask whether the user has windows near them. Responsive to an indication that there are no windows near the user, the verifier 5908 could generate a work order to add more windows in the area. In some embodiments, the questions and feedback can be used to discover the preference of various users.

In step 7010, the verifier 5908 can determine whether the feedback received in the step 7008 agrees with or disagrees with the one or more building health scores. In some embodiments, the verifier 5908 can aggregate the feedback received from all of the users in various categories. For example, the verifier 5908 could generate an average feedback score for every health building score category. In some embodiments, the average feedback score can indicate the overall agreement and/or disagreement with the various categories. In step 7012, the aggregate feedback for the various categories of building health scores can be presented along with the building health scores. For example, the thumbs up or the thumbs down elements of the user interface 600 of the FIG. 60 could be displayed by the verifier 5908.

In some embodiments, the verifier 5908 can remove biases from the feedback data. The verifier 5908 can identify whether certain users respond repeatedly with the same feedback, users who always respond with negative feedback, employee teams that only have positive feedback, etc. In some embodiments, the verifier 5908 can exclude user feedback that is detected to be biased.

In some embodiments, the verifier 5908 can identify that one or more systems require a calibration based on the feedback data. For example, a temperature sensor for a zone may not be operating correctly. Based on the temperature measurements of the sensor, the building health manager 128 could determine that the space is comfortable. However, if the occupant feedback of the step 7008 disagrees with the fact that the space is comfortable, the verifier 5908 can determine that the sensor for the space needs to be recalibrated and/or replaced.

In some embodiments, the verifier 5908 could communicate feedback from the various users to the data auditor 5902 in making data health determinations. In some embodiments, the user feedback disagreeing with a particular score could indicate that the equipment providing the data is in a fault state. In some embodiments, the user feedback could indicate that the data itself provided by the equipment is corrupted, anomalous, etc.

Referring now to FIG. 71 , a process of generating data health scores for data is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The process 7100 can be performed by the data auditor 5902. Furthermore, components such as the building health manager 128 can be configured to perform the process 7100. In some embodiments, any computing device described herein can be configured to perform the process 7100.

In step 7102, the data auditor 5902 can receive data samples from one or more data sources associated with the building. The data sources can be internal and/or external data sources. For example, the data sources could be data sources owned by the building, operated by the building, and/or installed within the building. The data sources could be gateways, controllers, sensors, actuators, etc. The data sources may, in some embodiments, be external data sources that are owned and/or operated by another entity. The data sources could be outdoor weather data (e.g., temperature, humidity, air quality, etc.). The data sources could provide data such as weather forecasts, bus schedules, disease infection rates, etc.

In step 7104, the data auditor 5902 could perform an analysis of the data samples to identify data health scores for the data samples. The data health scores can indicate the quality and/or validity levels of the data samples. The data health scores could indicate an overall health score of a data source based on the data health of individual data samples. The data health scores for individual data samples could be a binary healthy or anomalous determination. In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 could identify the data health scores based on levels of each data point and/or the amount of data received. The analysis performed by the data auditor 5902 could be a peer analysis, a temporal analysis, an artificial intelligence based analysis, etc. In some embodiments, the analysis detects whether a data source is experiencing a fault and if the data source is experiencing a fault that the data source is producing unreliable data. In some embodiments, a detection of anomalous data may indicate that the equipment is in a fault state.

In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 identifies data health for various data sources based on the proportion of data samples received from the data source and an expected number of data samples. Furthermore, the data auditor 5902 can determine the data health for the various data sources based on the number of anomalous data samples reported by the data source. In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 can perform an analysis for each data sample by comparing a value of the data sample to a range, comparing a rate of change of the data samples to an acceptable rate of change, determining whether the value of the data sample is a predefined amount greater or less than a mean or median of a historical window of time, etc.

In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 can generate data health scores for individual data sources, e.g., each particular controller, each sensor, etc. based on the data analyzed for each specific device. In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 can determine the data health scores on an equipment type group. For example, the data auditor 5902 could generate a data health score for all controllers of a building by analyzing all controller data health scores and/or by analyzing the data reported by all of the controllers together. The data auditor 5902 could further determine data health based on application (e.g., analyze the data consumed by the application), by building, by campus, by enterprise, etc.

In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 could identify top issues that may be causing poor data health. In some embodiments, the data auditor 5902 could push a set of top issues that could be causing a data source to be creating anomalous data to a technician (e.g., to a user device of the technician, e.g., the user device 148). For example a work order could be assigned to a particular technician to resolve an issue causing a sensor to create anomalous data and the top five most likely reasons why the anomalous data is being created. In some embodiments, the technician, when the issue is resolved, can provide an indication via the user device indicating what the reason for the issue was. The technician can provide an indication that one of the potential issues pushed to the technician was the reasons for the anomalous data. This feedback from technicians can be collected over time and used to train models that suggest the potential issues for anomalous data.

In step 7106, the data auditor 5902 can generate a user interface indicating the various data health scores determined in the step 7104. In some embodiments, the user interface manager 5910 generates the user interface based on data received from the data auditor 5902. In some embodiments, the user interface is the user interface 6700 of FIGS. 67A-B and/or the user interface 6800 of FIGS. 68A-B. In step 7108, the user interface manager 5910 can cause the user device 148 to display the user interface generated in the step 7106.

Referring now to FIG. 72 , a process 7200 of generating scores with an external scoring model is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment. The process 7200 can be performed by the external scoring system 5906. Furthermore, components such as the building health manager 128 can be configured to perform the process 7200. In some embodiments, any computing device described herein can be configured to perform the process 7200.

In step 7202, the external scoring system 5906 receives building data from one or more building systems of the building 146. For example, the external scoring system 5906 can receive building data from the building systems 142. In some embodiments, the external scoring system 5906 receives the data from the data auditor 5902. In some embodiments, the external scoring system 5906 is developed by a first entity, e.g., it is developed, managed, produced, implemented, sold, etc. by the first entity. The first entity may be a software developer, a company, etc.

In step 7204, the external scoring system 5906 can receive an indication of an external scoring model. The external scoring model can define a scoring methodology for the building 146. The external scoring model can be defined by a second entity, different from the first entity of the step 7202. For example, the second entity could be a second software developer, a second company, etc. The external scoring system 5906 can receive an external scoring model and/or methodology run by the external scoring system 5916 of the external system 5912, in some embodiments. In some embodiments, the external scoring system 5906 receives the external scoring model from the external system 5912 via an API of the external system 5912.

In step 7206, the external scoring system 5906 can generate one or more scores with the external model received in the step 7204 and the building data received in the step 7202. The one or more scores can be certification levels, percentage levels, etc. The various scores can be displayed in a user interface by the external scoring system 5906, in some embodiments. For example, the external scoring system 5906 could cause the user interface manager 5910 to display the user interface 6000 of FIG. 60 and/or the user interface 6900 of FIG. 69 .

In step 7208, the building health manager 128 can implement one or more updates to the building systems 142. The one or more updates update operation of the building 146 to improve the one or more scores generated in the step 7206. The operations could be operating settings of AHUs, VAVs, thermostats, humidifiers, security systems, access control systems, filtration systems, etc. In some embodiments, the updates could be work orders pushed to a technician or other person to install new equipment, perform maintenance to improve the performance of other pieces of equipment, manually change settings of the equipment, etc.

Configuration of Exemplary Embodiments

The construction and arrangement of the systems and methods as shown in the various exemplary embodiments are illustrative only. Although only a few embodiments have been described in detail in this disclosure, many modifications are possible (e.g., variations in sizes, dimensions, structures, shapes and proportions of the various elements, values of parameters, mounting arrangements, use of materials, colors, orientations, etc.). For example, the position of elements may be reversed or otherwise varied and the nature or number of discrete elements or positions may be altered or varied. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the present disclosure. The order or sequence of any process or method steps may be varied or re-sequenced according to alternative embodiments. Other substitutions, modifications, changes, and omissions may be made in the design, operating conditions and arrangement of the exemplary embodiments without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

The present disclosure contemplates methods, systems and program products on any machine-readable media for accomplishing various operations. The embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented using existing computer processors, or by a special purpose computer processor for an appropriate system, incorporated for this or another purpose, or by a hardwired system. Embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure include program products comprising machine-readable media for carrying or having machine-executable instructions or data structures stored thereon. Such machine-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer or other machine with a processor. By way of example, such machine-readable media can comprise RAM, ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, CD-ROM or other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to carry or store desired program code in the form of machine-executable instructions or data structures and which can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer or other machine with a processor. When information is transferred or provided over a network or another communications connection (either hardwired, wireless, or a combination of hardwired or wireless) to a machine, the machine properly views the connection as a machine-readable medium. Thus, any such connection is properly termed a machine-readable medium. Combinations of the above are also included within the scope of machine-readable media. Machine-executable instructions include, for example, instructions and data which cause a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or special purpose processing machines to perform a certain function or group of functions.

Although the figures show a specific order of method steps, the order of the steps may differ from what is depicted. Also two or more steps may be performed concurrently or with partial concurrence. Such variation will depend on the software and hardware systems chosen and on designer choice. All such variations are within the scope of the disclosure. Likewise, software implementations could be accomplished with standard programming techniques with rule based logic and other logic to accomplish the various connection steps, processing steps, comparison steps and decision steps.

In various implementations, the steps and operations described herein may be performed on one processor or in a combination of two or more processors. For example, in some implementations, the various operations could be performed in a central server or set of central servers configured to receive data from one or more devices (e.g., edge computing devices/controllers) and perform the operations. In some implementations, the operations may be performed by one or more local controllers or computing devices (e.g., edge devices), such as controllers dedicated to and/or located within a particular building or portion of a building. In some implementations, the operations may be performed by a combination of one or more central or offsite computing devices/servers and one or more local controllers/computing devices. All such implementations are contemplated within the scope of the present disclosure. Further, unless otherwise indicated, when the present disclosure refers to one or more computer-readable storage media and/or one or more controllers, such computer-readable storage media and/or one or more controllers may be implemented as one or more central servers, one or more local controllers or computing devices (e.g., edge devices), any combination thereof, or any other combination of storage media and/or controllers regardless of the location of such devices.
